One moment the sunbeams salubrious

And then in your face flies shower Of

And wishes he had on corduroy vest

Just as we go to press comes the
news that Hon. C. J. Faulkner has
received a majority of votes cast for
U. S Senator and therefore is the
successor of either Mr.. Camden or
Mr.. Lucas. Judge Faulkner is among
the brightest men Of the democratic
party in the State, he is an excellent
lawyer and has been an impartial,
painstaklng and praiseworthy judge.
If Mr.. Lucas locks horns with him
in contest the fight viii be very

THE INDEPENDENT.-VOL.X W..
WE have closed another year, and
this issue begins new volume. We
will make this a good, readable, re-
sponsible newspaper every week in
the year, and make it worth the sub
scription price Cheaper prints may
be had and the cheaper they are the
less labor is put upon them, and
therefore are not cheap, but dear at
any price We propose to give more
reading matter, more news, and be
more jealous in advancing the in
terests Of the people, without refer
ance to party, creed or dogma, than
ever before and we may add, there
will be some fun every now and then.
Our newspaper files are complete
from the year 1865, thus making the
new volume No. 16 of its own series,

there was an increase of so per cent.

Nov that Mayor Workman is au-
thorized to advise with Colonel war
ing. the eminent sanitary engineer
upon the best plan OF sewerage ior
this city, it is in order to give our
readers some idea of his system. IL
was adopted in Memphis IN
1880, and that city mas
never since had severe recur-
renee OF the terrible epidemic which
visited it in 1878. 1t has also been
Introduce d in a number OF other cities
and towns east of the Mississippi. 1t
consists of large main drains into
which six-inch drains are led from the
side streets. These lateral drains are
reached by four-inch drains from the
houses, and these are extendedto the
tops OF the houses and out from the
roofs, where they are open-ended anu
furnish ventilation for the sewer.
No rain water is admitted to the
sewers, which are so small that very
little water serves to flush them
thoroughly. In some instances the
entire flow from two or three houses
is sufficient to flush the whole sewer.
However, at the head OF each sewer
is placed a small automatic flush
tank, and this is filed with water,
say twice day. When filled it
discharges by its own weight in from
forty TO fifty seconds, and the entire
pipe is swept clear Of all obstructions
by the weight OF the water. This, IN
brief, is Colonel Warnings sanitary
sewer system for cities. Of course 1t
is more or less changed or modl-
fed to suit the topography OF the
cities to which it is applied. But
its great advantage in a sanitary
point of view is that it does away
with tue danger from sewer gas, all
of which escapes in the atmosphere
above the roofs OF the houses, and
the constant flushing prevents the
accumulation in the pipes OF disease
breeding matter.
In a letter received here yester'
day by DR.. Walter Lindley, Colone
George E. Waring says: "Shoulc
my services be needed in Los An
geles, l could at least make pre-
lminary examination and report by
stopping over early next week on
my way to San Francisco"
Colonel Waring is an honorary
m member of the Royal Institute OF
Engineers (Holland), Fellow OF the
Sanitary Institute OF Great Britain,
and corresponding member OF the
American Institute OF Architects. His
business is consulting erg;neer for
works OF sanitary and agriculture.
His home is Newport, K. l. His book
on the Sanitary Drainage OF Cities
and Towns is the highest authority.

THE London Times is placed in a
most unenviable position. The let
ter published by that paper on the
eve of great parliamentary event
for the purpose OF prejudicing the
Irish leaders with the public, and
thus aiding in the passage OF the
Coercion Bill, turns out to be a
forgery. Parnell denouncesita as such,
and declares that he never wrote or
signed such letter. Mr.. Eagan, to
whom the letter purports to have
been written, also pronounces it a
forgery, and declares that he never
received such a letter from Parnell.
Tie sentiments contained in the let
ter are not natural to Mr.. Parnell's
character, and are repugnant to his
public declarations at the time of
the Phoenix Park murders, which he
denounced in no uncertain terms.

IT seems that the Canadian Pacific
Railroads rates are such that goods
can be shipped across the continent
on that line at from s44 to $lSS less
per car load than the Interstate
Commerce rates established by Amer
lean Pacific railroad lines. Here is a
competition which will OF necessity
force our own roads to reconsider their
present tremendous rates. They cam
not hold out against them. If they
refuse to regulate their schedule in
accordance with the charges OF the
Canadian road, shippers this side
of British Columbia will soon take
advantage OF those rates, and bring
their merchan disc from the East in
bonded cars over the foreign railway.
That will be another curious and
startling effect, if it be the effect, OF
the new law to regulate Interstate
com mmerce. In the meantime, how
ever, we have every reason to believe
that relief is close at hand. The
prevailing opinion among merchants
in San Francisco and in .this city is
that the present rates will be modi.
fed in some way. Nobody prefer ds
to know exactly how it will be done,
but there is an abiding faith that il
will be done. Perhaps we may look
for an early suspension of the fourth
section as applied to the Pacific
Coast, for dispatch informs us that
the agent of the Transcontiantal
roads is to be heard by the Commits
sioners on Thursday.

benefit,

THERE was considerable interest
manifested yesterday by property
h olders in the business part ofs the
city about the location of the Federal
Build ing. All see med to be aston
ished that no offer had been made
nearer the Court House than Also
and Los Angeles streets, and many
strongly favored some plan by which
the present Court House block could
be conveyed to the Government. Ii
seems, however, that there is no
practicable way in which this can be
done. The Supervisors would be re-
quired by law to put the property up
at auction to the highest bidder,
and even if the citizens should
subscribe a given sum Tor
its purchase, the chances are
that they would be overbid at the
sale. Then again, nobody believes
that the new Court House will be
ready before couple of years, and
it is doubtful whether the United
States is willing to defer putting up
the Federal Building for any great
length of time. Uncle Sam, as far
as his interests and conveniences are
concerned, would as lief have the
building half a mile from the city
centre as in the heart OF the town.
and unless those who are interested
in having it in the business part OF
the city do something to get it there,
the chances are that it will be located
where the cheapest site is offered.
